JERUSALEM -- Sarah is missing, but please don't try to touch her if you find her. This was the alert Israeli police issued Sunday after the 65-pound, 16-foot-long python was discovered missing from a reptile park in the southern Golan Heights. The snake is "very dangerous and can easily crush a human to death," police spokeswoman Aliza Azulai said.
